Martians Looking For Work

Martians Looking For Work I’m not insane! Martians scream out to be released My boss does not believe me He’s insane I want a large raise…promotion….and his job….right now! I tell my boss everything, including You know…. About the alien invasion outside He only listens to his watch. (It’s never wrong.) He’s out to lunch forever Martians spin in purple metallic euphoria like tops They’re at the door right now They’re at the manager’s heels and hungry Looking for my job They’d better learn our language! They’d better have their papers! They’re not getting mine! Martians scream out to be released I show them the unemployment line
